Along with the magnificent cathedral, Durham Castle is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has been continuously occupied since its construction, which began in 1072 under the orders of William the Conqueror. Today it is part of the historic Durham University, the third oldest in Britain and a renowned centre of excellence.

Donated to the university and now used as student residence. Therefore opening times are limited, but one can get a glimpse into the inner yard when asking friendly.

Yürüyüş

The castle was originally built in the 11th century to protect the Bishop of Durham from attack. The north of England was a "very wild" area, especially after the Norman conquest in 1066 (starting with the Battle of Hastings). The castle is an example of the moth construction preferred by the Normans.
The Great Hall, built by Bishop Antony Bek in the early 14th century, was the largest of its time in Britain until Bishop Richard Fox downsized it towards the end of the 15th century. Today it is 14 m high and over 30 m long.
